PAC or CIF?

pac or cif?

University of Waterloo has two gyms, pac which is located in slc, and another gym at cif. Which one is better?

excluding the times I went to warm up for volleyball intramurals, I usually dont go to the pac gym. I'm not the biggest fan of pac, as it almost always has too many people. I used to go late at night, like 1030 or 11pm, but I dont want to walk all the way home in this shitty weather that god has cursed us with. Cif on the other hand has a much smaller gym, and has significantly less people. But at the same time, it is farther than PAC and more bland.

A few days back I went to pac for the first time in months since my friend FINALLY decided to come hit the gym at school. They live in a building with a small little gym inside, and that has been there safe haven. It sometimes feels like I'm trying to poke the bears out of hibernation to get them to come work out with me.

PAC is more accessible and fun to go with friends as its more lively, but if I am going to the gym alone I would much rather prefer a quieter, smaller gym like the one in cif.

I try and avoid going to both during peak hours(5pm-8pm)
